If you are on the hunt for a new job, there is no better place to look for help than a live chat with hundreds of recruiters onboard to answer questions.  Two very good ones are #JobHuntChat, and #TNL (short for TalentNet Live).  Both feature recruiters talking about issues of job search and hiring.  #JobHuntChat is every Monday, from 10PM EST to 11PM EST.  #TNL is the last Wednesday of each month from 9PM to 11PM EST.

Ryan Leary was kind enough to post a how-to article and video on using TweetGrid to participate in Twitter chats.  I have re-posted it below.  Don't miss #JobHuntChat with host Rich DeMatteo (@cornonthejob) tonight and each Monday at 10PM EST, and #TNL next Wed. at 9PM EST.

Managing #Twitter with #Tweetgrid and #TNL by Ryan Leary

Ever join a Twitter chat like #TNL or #jobhuntchat?  Ever have trouble keeping up with the hundreds of tweets coming across your screen? Some may already be running with this program, but if you’re  not you should highly consider looking into Tweetgrid.com.

It’s simple to use and will help you make sense out of your Twitterverse. Here are a few key points (below the video) taken from the FAQ’s of Tweetgrid but check out the 2 minute video on making your #TNL experience the best it can be.

What is TweetGrid.com?

TweetGrid is a powerful Twitter Search Dashboard that allows you to search for up to 9 different topics, events, conversations, hashtags, phrases, people, groups, etc in real-time. As new tweets are created, they are automatically updated in the grid. No need to refresh the page!

Can I recruit or Source on TweetGrid.com?

Yes. You can’t get overly complicated, but try modifying something like this:

developer OR coder near:Seattle, WA within:15mi –jobs –job

Try searching keyword or tweets to and from individual tweeters:

Searching Tweets to a user:

To:ryaneary

Search Tweets form a user:

From:ryanleary
